Vyoma Indian Knowledge Systems Centre

Vision: To solve contemporary global problems through the application of Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS).

Mission: To resolve challenges faced by IKS researchers, students, educators, and enthusiasts, and to support the various personae working toward the aforementioned vision.

1. Lack of Awareness — "What exactly is IKS?"

• Identifying the Scriptural Expanse: Mapping IKS into a structured framework
• Overview Charts: ~10 visual guides including the IKS Master, 64 Kalās, and Regional IKS charts

• Publications: Books and blogs based on curated courses
• IKS in Practice (Ācāra to Vicāra): Five-level self-assessment questionnaire hosted on a digital platform

2. Accessibility Gaps — "Where can one search for IKS resources?"

• Reference Materials: Spiral-bound booklet for physical reference
• Dual System Library: Offline and online with Assisted Search
• Collaborative Workshops: Annual workshops with S-VYASA
• SWAYAM Course: Teaching effective search methodologies

Yes. We are preparing a near-exhaustive bibliography featuring a one-page introduction for every significant grantha (text). This will be hosted as an e-flipbook in the IKS section of our OTT platform, with direct links from the IKS landing page.

We are developing a five-level Technical Glossary (Śabdāvalī) to map modern terms (Economics, Accounting, etc.) to their Sanskrit equivalents. Currently, "Level 0.5" is being finalized for print and online review to gather expert feedback.

Note: All digital offerings are described on the IKS website and linked via e-flipbooks on our OTT platform.
